Mamokebe by JOZIA
Official Music Video. The song is about the state of isolation and alienation from society, and the feeling of not belonging to this world. The Lyrics are in Sepedi: 'Mamokebe' is the
mythological equivalent of a Siren – a mermaid-like, but dangerous creature who lures nearby sailors with her seductive and mesmerizing voice to shipwreck on the rocky coast of her island.
Directed by Jozia,

Julio by JOZIA
Official Music Video. The video is mix of an amour fou story and a road movie that takes you on a ride across the USA. It's all about the love of freedom – and the freedom to love through the power of forgiveness.

Prevention Campaign for Refugees
Politsatire / Propaganda. As early as 2007, the Swiss Confederation launched a negative campaign to discourage migrants from Africa from applying for asylum in Switzerland: inspired by this,
pastor Wilfried Stocher launched his own prevention campaign for refugees in order to "stop the waves of migration as they roll in". The spot is subtitled in Arabic so that the message of the
video can also be understood in the target countries of North Africa and the Middle East.

Organization to solve the foreigner question (OLAF)
Politsatire / Propaganda. The survey of the Swiss's people's party has already been evaluated, claims OLAF's managing director, Dr Alois B. Stocher in an interview in front of the Zurich
cantonal prison. The result: the Swiss population feels more and more foreign in their own country. The problem is not only the criminal foreigners, but the foreigners as such. With the so-called
3-phase solution model, Stocher presents a solution that supposedly not only consistently takes into account the SVP's political demands and ideas, but will also solve the question of foreigners
once and for all.

Call for National Collection Day
Politsatire / Propaganda. At the press conference on 25 October 2010, the SVP announced that it would enter the election campaign with the slogan "Swiss choose SVP". Dr. Alois Stocher derives the
new slogan for OLAF from this: "Swiss choose SVP. OLAF knows who is Swiss". He is delighted with the active participation of the Swiss population in the people's liberation and announces a
National Collection Day for Foreigners.

A Christian commentary on current affairs
Politsatire / Propaganda. After the vote on the ban on arms exports, in which the Swiss population follows the recommendations of the Federal Council and votes 'no', Dr. Alois Stocher is relieved: He recognises in the result of the vote a clear confirmation of his work and a mandate from the people that KEH should continue and intensify the existing war development aid.
